prominent member of the Society of Friends, and for his benevolence and
charity.  He was one of the first settlers of Brooklyn Heights, having
resided there upwards of thirty years.  About three weeks ago he visited
Florida, accompanied by Mrs. Merritt, on business, and a few days since
a letter to a member of his family announcing his intended immediate

relatives had for the melancholy message which followed so quickly
after.  Mr. Manning, of Hicks street, was with him at the time of his

A BARBAROUS BRUTE 
A Husband by His Brutality Kills His Wife and Child - 
The Inquest Before the Coroner.

Coroner Jones commences an inquest this afternoon on the body of Mary
Ann Walsh, who resided at No. 450 Kent avenue, and who died yesterday
under very peculiar circumstances.  According to the evidence taken
before the Coroner, it appears that Walsh is a man of intemperate habits
and has been in the habit of treating his wife in a very inhuman manner,
and especially of late since his has been out of work.  On the 23d of
December Mrs. Walsh was confined and gave birth to a fine healthy
child.  The neighbors knowing that her husband did not work, kindly
rendered her all the assistance in their power, and provided a doctor
for her, a thing her husband never thought of doing.  Although the
neighbors did all in their power for the unfortunate woman, yet she was
not sufficiently provided for, and did not have enough clothes to cover
her.  About four days after the birth of the child, Walsh enter the
house in a state of BEASTLY INTOXICATION, and commenced to abuse his
wife.  She was too weak, poor thing, to say a word, but her
sister-in-law, who was present, resisted stoutly Walsh's ill-treatment. 
He becoming infuriated, SEIZED THE CHILD out of its cradle, and
attempted to throw it at his sick wife's head.  The sister-in-law,
however, grasped his arm in time to prevent this brutal act, and
possessed herself of the child.  Walsh then ran to the mantel piece and
seizing a knife shouted and swore that he'd MURDER THE D----D BRAT and
was in the act of rushing at the sister-in-law, when she made her
escape, and fled to her mother's with the infant clasped to her heart.

This unheard of and horribly brutal proceeding threw the mother into
convulsions, and finally killed her.  The child, deprived of its natural
nourishment died also.  The following is THE STATEMENT OF DORA BURNS,
who resided in the same house with deceased; "On the 23d of December
deceased was confined; I was with her part of the time she was in labor;
the deceased had no blankets on the bed, and the doctor ordered some to
be provided;  I went and borrowed a pair; there was no one with deceased
during the night after her confinement; the deceased did not have
sufficient nourishment; Ellen SMITH, who also resides in the same house,
testified that she was present at the confinement and after and that on
one occasion when she asked Mr. Walsh to get his wife some medicine, he
refused and said; "LET HER GO WITHOUT, LET HER DIE", Mr. Walsh was drunk
nearly all the time, while his wife never got any nourishment, except
such as was supplied by the neighbors. Case still on.

JOHNSON Homicide
The inquest upon the body of John JOHNSON, who was killed on Wednesday
afternoon last on board the Black Prince, will be held by Coroner JONES
on Monday morning at eleven o’clock.  The post mortem has already been
held by the Hospital Physician; but of course the result will not be
made public until given in evidence.

Drunken Parents..How they killed their Infant Child
An investigation of the circumstances attending the death of the infant
child of Francis and Mrs. BRUEN, who was found dead on yesterday morning
was commenced yesterday afternoon by Coroner JONES. The facts elicited
are as follows.  About 6 o’clock on Thursday evening, BRUEN left home
and went to South Brooklyn where he continued drinking strong drinks
until one o’clock in the morning.  He returned home in a state of
beastly intoxication and managed to get into bed with his wife and
infant child. On awakening next morning at six o’clock he found the
child dead, supposedly by suffocation.  It is further stated that Mrs.
BRUEN retired to rest in a state of intoxication little better than that
of her husband, and it is impossible to ascertain by of them the result
was caused.
Coroner JONES states that owing to the conflicting nature of the
testimony taken by him he found it impossible, as a medical man, to
instruct the jury as to the verdict they should find in the case, and he
deemed it necessary to adjourn the inquest until after he holds a
postmortem examination on the remains of the child, at 11 o’clock on Monday morning.

ANOTHER HOMICIDE--Patrick KENNEDY
The Rowdy Element in the Nineteenth Ward--A Man Killed
  On Wednesday the 25 of January last, an affray occurred in the Nineteenth Ward,
which has resulted in the death of a man named Patrick KENNEDY, who resided in Graham
street between Park and Flushing avenues.  The facts of the case as far as they could
be ascertained by one of the UNION men are as follows, and were obtained from the
brother-in-law of the deceased, Mr. Michael KENNEDY. On Wednesday, the day on which
the affray occurred, three men named James MERRIT, Patrick KEELEY, and a man named
HUBBS, were walking down Wythe avenue, and when near Penn street, they saw a man
named BRENNAN in Mrs. MARKEY’s grocery store, where he boarded.  It appears that
either KEELEY or MERRIT had A GRUDGE AGAINST HIM and upon seeing him, both crowded
over the street to the store, and one of them opening the door said "You are the son
of a b---- that was going to lick me in Flushing avenue the other night," and both of
the men pulled BRENNAN out and commenced to beat him on the sidewalk: the deceased,
Patrick KENNEDY, was at the time in the store, talking to Mr. MARKEY, and he, on
seeing BRENNAN in bad hands, ran out to assist him.  KENNEDY used his fists pretty
effectively, and KEELEY and MERRIT ran away, and immediately after one of them threw
either a large brick or a stone, and threw it at the deceased, who was struck on the
back of the head by it and received such A SERIOUS WOUND that he died in the City
Hospital last evening from the effects of it.  This fact was telegraphed to the
Fourth Precinct Station House, and Captain POWERS dispatched Officer SHAUGHNESSY and
Detective CORR to arrest the assailants of KENNEDY. James MERRIT was taken by
Detective CORR; but up to noon today no word was received of KEELEY’s capture.
KEELEY is said to be A DESPERATE CHARACTER and has been turned out of his father’s
house on account of his wrong-doings.  He afterwards went to live with a man named
SWEETMAN, and it has been stated that KEELEY afterwards was charged with having
stolen $90 from this SWEETMAN.  The police are on his track and will shortly have him
behind bars.  Coroner WHITEHILL has been notified and will hold the inquest as soon
as the requisite witnesses shall have been subpoenaed to attend.

February 13, 1871
The KENNEDY Homicide
Coroner’s Inquest -Evidence Adduced
  Coroner JONES commenced an inquest this morning upon the body of Patrick KENNEDY,
who-as has been previously reported in The UNION-died at the Hospital from concussion
of the brain, he having been struck upon the head with a stone during a row which
commenced in William MARKEY’s grocery store in Wythe avenue, a man named James
MERRITT having been arrested on suspicion of having killed KENNEDY.  The first
witness Martha DONALDSON, being sworn, said she resided at 136 Myrtle avenue.  On the
day in question she heard a disturbance at MARKEY’s store and saw three men running
after another man and two women were running after the two men trying to prevent them
from fighting.  All the men seemed to be beating each other at random.  Witness got
frightened and went in the house; she afterwards came out and saw several men beating
one man who was down on the sidewalk.
  They were brutally kicking him about the head and body. Witness recognized Mr.
MARKEY and a man who boarded at his house named BRENNAN, as two of the men who were
fighting, but were not the men who kicked KENNEDY.  Mrs. MARKEY came out and took her
husband away.  Soon after the man (KENNEDY) got up from the sidewalk, and witness saw
him struck upon the head with something.  The missile struck KENNEDY on the right
temple; could not see what it was; saw the man fall on the sidewalk and his blood ran
on the stones.
  Mr. MARKEY’s sister came out and she and another man lifted KENNEDY up and took him
to a drug store. Witness could not say who threw the stone.
  The next witness was Bridget LEAVY. She said she lived with her sister Mrs. MARKEY
in Wythe avenue; remembered the disturbance in which KENNEDY got hurt. There were
four men in the grocery store kept by my sister; I was in the next room; I heard my
sister call out "Murder" and I ran out. I saw some men fighting; they were beating a
man on the opposite sidewalk.  The man who was killed and John BRENNAN were beating
this man on the sidewalk opposite my sister’s house.  The next thing the witness knew
was the throwing of a large stone from the direction of Rodney street and which
struck Patrick KENNEDY on the right temple; the stone knocked KENNEDY down: John
BRENNAN and I took him to the drug store, but for some reason could not get him in,
and he was brought back to Mr. MARKEY’s store where his wounds were washed, and he
then wanted to go out and have revenge on the man who threw the stone, but Mr. MARKEY
stopped him from going: the men who were cut were John MARKEY, Patrick KENNEDY (the
deceased), Patrick CALLAHAN and John BRENNAN.

Ellen CAVAN’s Evidence
  Ellen CAVAN, next sworn, said: I reside at 49 Taylor street, and was present at the
time of this affray.  It was about four o’clock in the afternoon on the 24th inst. I
saw John BRENNAN and an other man whom I do not know near Ross street. There was
another man in Ross street, he was crying out "Save my life, Harry."  He meant Harry
O’NEIL, who was in Myrtle avenue, where BRENNAN and the other man were. It was Thomas
KULEY who was hallo??ing. John BRENNAN picked up something which looked like a stone
and threw it at James MERRIT. MERRIT was all covered with blood at the time.  I took
him to a drug store and he got his wounds dressed. He was cut on the head.  The case
was still on when our reporter left.

  Coroner JONES continued this morning the inquest upon the body of John [sic]
KENNEDY, who was killed in a row which occurred on the 24th of January last in Wythe
avenue.  The evidence taken yesterday was published in The UNION yesterday.  Ex-Judge
MOORE appears for the accused James MERRITT.
The first witness this morning was Mary PURCELL, who said she heard the noise of the
affray in front of her residence, No. 143 Wythe avenue and upon going to the window
saw a man near the drug store at the corner of Rodney street; he was holloaing for
someone to come there, and he would fight him; there was only one man there as near
as I could judge; he had a coat on, but no hat; in a few minutes a crowd ran out of
MARKEY’s store in the direction of this man, and disappeared up Ross street.
   Catherine MERRITT being duly sworn said I reside at No. 188 Wythe avenue, and saw
a disturbance on the 25th day of January last in Wythe avenue between Rodney and Keap
streets; I heard a noise in the street and went to my window to see what was the
matter; I saw several men trying to get out of MARKEY’s store, and two women were
trying to keep them in: they got out and went towards Rodney street.  Two men were
standing on the corner; I saw MARKEY with a knife in his hand. The two men on the
corner ran up towards Ross street, they all went round the corner of Ross street, and
that was all I saw of them.  The two men who stood on the corner were James MERRITT
and Thomas KELLEY; James MERRITT had on a brown woolen jacket, dark pants and a round
felt hat. Can’t say how KELLEY was dressed.

An Important Witness:
  John BRENNAN, who was engaged in the affray, was the next witness. He said "I
reside in Mr. MARKEY’s house, No. 143 Wythe avenue; I was sitting in a room off
MARKEY’s store (where I board) and I went out in the store to get a light for my
pipe. I stood about three feet from the door and I saw two men coming across Wythe
avenue, and one of them came across and opened the store door and one of them stood
up against the door; the other man said to me, "you are the s-of a b-that thought to
lick me out there." I told them to "Clear out of this," and go where they belonged,
when the man who spoke to me struck me on the nose, and covered my face with blood. I
rushed towards him and the other man struck me.  Mrs. MARKEY called out "murder, John
BRENNAN is being killed."  My friend, the deceased, then came out and we rushed over
to the middle of the street, and a man named HUBBS, who, as I understood, was
standing on the other side of the street, ran in between us, and MARKEY knocked him
down on the far sidewalk, and I gave him some kicks while he was down, and about four
minutes after my friend KENNEDY was struck on the head with a stone, he was hit on
the left temple and fell down on one knee and then flat on his face. I lifted him up
and asked what had happened him. After this we took him into MARKEY’s and he had his
head washed. We then heard someone say "You sons of b-, come out here again."The
deceased then said "I’ll have revenge."  Mrs. MARKEY prevailed on him not to go, she
said "You are killed now, and you don’t know anything about it. Stop where you are."
But he ran out again, and so did MARKEY. I ran out as far as Ross street, and saw a
man down and Mr. MARKEY was trying to save him and said "Boys, you have given him
enough now."  I then saw the fallen man get up and Officer O’NEIL was seen coming
down the street. Myself, MARKEY, and the deceased then went into MARKEY’s store, and
KENNEDY said: "I’ll go home to the old woman." I went with him to Dr. BRADLEY’s in
Kent near Myrtle avenue, and then took him home to his own house. The doctor said his
skull was fractured. I don’t know what the man meant who said to me, that "I wanted
to lick him out there.'

James HORTON’s Testimony
  James HORTON, being sworn, said: I am a law clerk and reside at No. 148 Wythe
avenue. I saw a disturbance on the 25th ultimo: looked out of my window and saw
KENNEDY fighting with HUBBS; they fought until they came to the sidewalk. HUBBS was
knocked down and I saw BRENNAN and MARKEY kicking him most unmercifully. I left the
window, but returned in a short time and saw them taking the deceased (KENNEDY) into
MARKEY’s store; they came out again in a few minutes, and MARKEY had a knife in his
hand. James MERRITT was at this time standing on the corner of Wythe avenue and
Rodney street. MARKEY and the man who was with him saw him standing there and drove
him up Ross street; I then lost sight of them; MERRITT did not show any disposition
to fight; he seemed as though he wanted to get out of it.

  Robert COWDEN, next sworn, said that MERRITT, KELLEY and HUBBS were together before
the fight, that he was standing on the corner of Rodney street when KELLEY ran over
to MARKEY’s store. MERRITT, KELLEY and HUBBS were pretty well tight. I did not hear
them say they were going to have a fight. Witness then described the fight in the
same manner in which BRENNAN stated it occurred. He continued, "I don’t know who
threw the stone; did not see it thrown, and never told anyone that I knew who threw
it. KELLEY had a blue overcoat on and a cap; MERRITT had a woolen jacket on and a
round hat. KELLEY was the man who commenced the fight; then HUBBS was struck. I did
not see MERRITT in it at all. I did not fight; didn’t see MERRITT at all during the
fighting."

Did he or not? Judge MOORE-"Did you tell Mr. MERRITT here that you knew KELLEY threw
that stone"
Witness, after considerable prevarication said, "No, he did not."
Judge MOORE-"Did you not say to Mr. MERRITT, you need not be alarmed, it was KELLEY
who threw the stone?"
Witness-"I don’t think I did because I saw no stone fired."
Coroner-"You don’t think? Did you or did you not tell him?"
Witness-"No, sir."

Officer O’NEIL sworn said "I belong to the fifth precinct; was on duty the 25th
instant, when there was a fight in Wythe avenue: I was told of a fight between Rodney
and Keefe streets."
   At this stage of the proceedings a recess was taken, the remainder of the evidence
will appear in tomorrow’s UNION.

Conclusion of the Inquest-The VERDICT
  The coroner’s inquest upon the body of Patrick KENNEDY was finished yesterday.  At
the conclusion of Officer O’NEIL’s testimony which was given in yesterday’s UNION,
two men were sworn, Joseph McCURRAN and John DONAHUE.  Joseph McCURRAN saw the man
who threw the stone and described his dress and figure, and when asked by the coroner
whether MERRITT was the man, he replied "No, the man who threw the stone was about
the same height, but of a much stouter build."  Thomas KEELEY is the man he
described.  John DONAHUE’s testimony is a little more precise.  He says: I am a glass
cutter, reside at No. 34 Clymer street; I was talking with Thomas KEELEY after the
affray, and asked him if he knew what caused the row; he said he didn’t know exactly
what was the cause, but he was in the row, and James MERRITT would have been killed
only for him. I asked him if Jim was badly cut, and he said he thought he would get
over it in about three weeks; I asked him if he knew anything about a man who was
struck by a stone. He said he ran up to the corner and HE FIRED THE STONE, but he did
not know if it struck anyone. He didn’t know anyone was struck.  The men engaged in
the row worked at a steel factory, and he said they were going to have him arrested,
and he was going to get a lawyer. I told him that he had better go and settle it. He
then went away." This is the most important part of the testimony. As DONAHUE was the
last witness, the jury retired and were out an hour and a half, and upon their return
rendered the following verdict:  "That Patrick KENNEDY came to his death by
concussion of the brain superinduced by a blow from a stone, and we the jury, believe
that said stone was thrown by Thomas KEELEY on the 24th day of January on Wythe
avenue near Rodney street, Brooklyn.  Thomas KEELEY has not been arrested, and in
fact has taken leg bail for parts unknown, but the police are "after him." James
MERRITT has been held to bail.

10 February 1871
The NOSTRAND Murder
Confession of DEVINE--He Implicates KELLY
  John DEVINE, the accomplice of Wm. KELLY, both the alleged murderers of Garrett
Worth NOSTRAND at Syossett, on the night of January 21, yesterday confessed the
commission of the crime to Sheriff HENRY.  Every effort was made to keep the
confession secret, but unsuccessfully.
  DEVINE states that what he testified to on the inquest is true.  He left the house
with NOSTRAND, and was afterward joined by KELLY.  KELLY urged him to strike
NOSTRAND, and he did so knocking him down.  NOSTRAND was very drunk, but managed to
regain his feet and showed fight. KELLY then struck him with a club and knocked him
down.  He did not get up.  KELLY said "The ____  ______, I’ve fixed him."  They then
went to KELLY’s house and thence to another house near by. KELLY soon after went
home, and DEVINE went to JACKSON’s.
  DEVINE says that he had to interfere to prevent KELLY’s beating NOSTRAND even more.
DEVINE admits that he was a little drunk.  If he had not been drunk, he says he would
not have struck NOSTRAND, as he had no ill feeling toward him.
  DEVINE has made this confession at the request of his father and mother, whose
presence on Monday last caused him to shed bitter tears. He evidently hopes to escape
the hangman. KELLY is almost friendless.  He denies the statement in toto.

SUICIDE
Fred OGDEN, 22 years, shot himself this morning with a pistol bullet.  He died almost
instantaneously.  He resided with friends at 583 Pacific street, near 4th avenue.  He
was in good circumstances and unmarried. Coroner JONES will hold an inquest thisafternoon.
February 11, 1871

 Coroner JONES held an inquest yesterday evening on the circumstances attending to
the death of Frederick D. OGDEN, of No. 583 Pacific street.  The mother and sister of
the deceased were the principal witnesses.  The mother deposed that on yesterday
morning the deceased while standing by her in the kitchen suddenly wrenched from her
a bread knife which she had been cleaning; that he turned from her and stooping a
little, cut his throat with it, and fell to the floor where he soon after died.  She
said that her son had been affected mentally for some time previously; that he was
under medical treatment on that account, and that every attention and care that
affection could suggest was bestowed upon him.  The sister of the deceased
corroborated the testimony of the mother in regard to his state of mind.  The verdict
returned was that Frederick D. OGDEN came to his death by hemorrhage caused by a
wound in his throat, inflicted with a bread knife, while laboring under temporary insanity.

SUICIDE As was reported in yesterday’s UNION, Frederick OGDEN, aged 27, who resided
at No. 583 Pacific street, committed suicide yesterday morning by cutting his throat
with a bread knife.  Last evening Coroner JONES held an inquest upon the body, and a
verdict of death by hemorrhage, caused by a gash in the neck with a bread knife,
inflicted by himself was rendered.

15 February 1871
MURDERERS of QUEENS COUNTY
   Eighteen years ago a murder was committed near the spot where Mr. NOSTRAND was
murdered last month at about the same time of the year. Rulliff VOORHEES, a
well-to-do farmer between dusk and dark, went to the barn to fodder his cattle; his
prolonged absence gave his wife uneasiness and a neighbor coming, he was dispatched
to find the missing man.  Near the barn and attempting to crawl towards the house was
found VOORHES with his head badly smashed.  In two hours he died, but being
unconscious no clue could be gained to the murderer.  Suspicion was attached to a
German who had quit work for the farmer a few days previous and the county was
scoured for his arrest, which was finally effected.  The second day, after the arrest
of the German and towards night some of the neighbors went to the barn to feed the
stock of the murdered man, and among them John DOWNING, Esq., who with a fork jumped
upon the mow. In pitching for hay, something hard was struck, and a Scotchman named
Thomas ATCHINSON, was unearthed, having been entirely covered by the hay.  On
searching him, the knife and tobacco box of the murdered man were found upon his
person.  The Scotchman had formerly been employed by Mr. VOORHES, but had left a
number of weeks previous. No satisfactory account could be given by ATCHINSON for his

24 February 1871
A Daughter Awakes to Find Her Mother’s Corpse
   At 4 o’clock this morning Ellen PERCIVAL, a widow residing with her three children
at 99 Imlay street, was found dead in her bed. It seems that for some time she has
been in very delicate health and that she has been unable to attend to her business
which was that of housekeeping.
   Her eldest daughter, about 16 years of age, proposed that she would sit up with
her, but this her mother said there was no necessity of doing, as she felt better,
and that, as her daughter would have to go to work on the morrow, she required to
have some rest. The daughter reluctantly complied, but her sleep was troubled, and
she rose early, and went into the adjoining room where her mother slept. On reaching
her bedside she found that all life had departed and that her mother was beyond all
earthly aid.
   A reporter of The UNION visited the house this morning. Nothing could well be more
wretched than its surroundings. Every room almost in the house is occupied with
separate families, and squalling children and the presence of poverty is visible
everywhere. On reaching the top floor, he was admitted into a small room about 15 by
20 feet. The lifeless form of Mrs. PERCIVAL lay upon a couch covered with clean white
linen and about a dozen of women, most of them with children in arms, occupied seats
round the room. On inquiring the circumstances of her mother’s death, the daughter
who is a pretty and intelligent girl detailed the circumstances as above.  She was
overwhelmed with grief and felt acutely the necessity of holding an inquest.
   She stated that her mother, with five sisters, came from Ireland about twenty
years ago and that during the father’s life their circumstances were very favorable,
but that since his death they have been obliged to struggle hard with poverty. It
seems that her mother had several brothers well situated, but that they have
neglected her. She had been a member of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and from
time to time received assistance from that denomination.
   She has left two daughters and one son, all young, and entirely unprovided for.
   It would be an act of Christian charity to remove them while young from the civil
influences under which they will otherwise be obliged to live.
   Coroner Jones held an inquest at the house this afternoon, and a verdict of death
from valvular heart disease was returned.

BROWN—In Brooklyn Thursday Feb. 23, Clara Louisa, daughter of John S. and Jeannette

Mrs. Jane CAMPBELL
   Mrs. Jane CAMPBELL died at her residence in Raymond street yesterday morning at

associates, and especially by her husband and family. She had five sons, all of whom

regret to all who knew her. The funeral takes place on Wednesday morning next, from

Philip H. GROGAN
   The news of the death yesterday morning of Mr. Philip H. GROGAN, was received with
deep and universal sorrow by a very large circle of intimate friends, comprising the
greater part of the public and business men of this city.  In the position of the
life, which he filled, would be difficult. Perhaps to find one possessing natural
qualifications better adapted thereto than those, which were the well-known
characteristics of Mr. GROGAN. Peculiar to his manner to an extent bordering
sometimes almost on the eccentric, his eccentricities, if they may be so termed,
proceeded uniformly from the warmth and goodness of his heart; and of him it might be
said what can seldom be asserted of men in his peculiar position of life, that he
hardly possessed an enemy in the world. Philip GROGAN had a large heart and a warm
benevolent one. His social qualities were pre-eminently attractive, and gained him
friends from every class of society. His regard for the suffering and the destitute
never found expression in words, and words only, but to the poor he was generous
almost to a fault and gave with a liberality oftentimes disproportionate to his
means.
   Mr. GROGAN was born in the city of New York, but for many years has been a
president of Brooklyn, and his business life as well known to all. The disease which
proved fatal to him—inflammation of the lungs—had shown symptoms of its presence for
some days before he yielded to its power and took to his been. He died quietly and
peacefully at ????past nine yesterday morning. The funeral services will be held at
the house of the deceased 104 Willoughby street, Tuesday morning at nine o’clock:
thence to the church of St. Charles Borromeo, Sidney place, where a requiem mass will
be said for the repose of his soul.

    Miss Susie CONWITH, of Bridge Hampton, when in her teens was a 
very pretty girl, but she never married, and at the age of fifty 
ended her forlorn existence by committing suicide.  On Wednesday 
evening last, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, she 
went to the beach and cast herself upon the bosom of the merciless waters.  
As she did not return home that night, search was made on the following day, 
but she could not be found.  On Friday, her shawl was found on the beach
and the general impression was that she committed suicide.  On Saturday,

DISTRESSING SUICIDE
A YOUNG MOTHER COMMITS SUICIDE BY HANGING HERSELF--A Widow and Two Motherless Children.
At noon to-day, notice was brought to the Coroner's office of the death 
of Mrs. Mary SEAMAN, aged 24 years.  The slip stated that she had committed suicide.  
Upon inquiry made by the UNION reporter, it appears that Mrs. Seaman is a young 
mother, she having a child about seven weeks old.  This morning her husband, who 
is a carpenter, left the house No. 228 DeKalb avenue, to go to his work.
At about 10 o'clock Mrs. Seaman called the servant girl and told her to 
take the baby and "play with it".  The girl did so.  From present 
appearances it seems that as soon as Mrs. Seaman got rid of the servant, 
she closed and locked the doors on the bedroom floor, ascended to the roof 
by means of a skylight, and fastened a clothes-line to one of the clothes-poles 
on the roof of the house; the other end of the line passed through the skylight
into a sort of hallway between two bedrooms.  She then got a table, made a slip 
noose in the rope, fastened it round her neck, jumped from the table and hung 
herself.  The body was found by some of the neighbors, who were attracted to 
the house by the servant girl who was afraid something was wrong when she could 
not open the chamber doors.  The deed is supposed to have been committed while 
the deceased was laboring under a temporary derangement of the mind from puerile causes.

several years an Alderman in this city, and was one of the trustees of the 
"village" of Brooklyn.  He has served a term in the Assembly, was President

A MELANCHOLY DECEASE
Last Saturday, Mrs. Wm. REVILE. the wife of a well-known journalist of New York, 
died under very melancholy circumstances at her residence, No. 478 Delphi street.  
Mr. REVILE was absent at his work, and reached home barely in time to see her 
draw her last breath.  Three years ago she lost her reason, and was for six 
weeks confined in the Flatbush Asylum for the Insane.  She seemed to have 
entirely recovered, and was in the enjoyment of perfect health until November 
last when she became subject to hysterical fits, and to quiet her nerves she 
began to take large doses of laudanum.
    A few days ago in using the laudanum she took an overdose, which proved 
its own antidote, but caused a painful sickness and quickened her mental malady.  
It was then deemed prudent to send her to an asylum, but the aversion which a 
husband would naturally have to such a curative means overbore his judgment.  
The papers for her transfer to the asylum were therefore not made out.  Last 
Friday afternoon she seemed in better spirits, and showed symptoms of speedy 
improvement.  The following day Mr. REVILLE left his home to attend to his 
duties in New York, and in his absence Mrws. REVILLE went out and procured 
some drug, of which she took too much.  Soon she was prostrated by the violent 
illness which ensued, and by the time her husband arrived was unconscious.  
Mrs. REVILLE was a lady of culture, and before she was attacked by disease 
was well know for her genial presence and ready benevolence.

A SAD CASE
An Insane Woman Commits Suicide by Jumping Out of a Third Story Window - 
Loss of Children and Property the Cause.
Yesterday Coroner WHITEHILL held an inquest upon the body of LOUISA JANSEN 
at the residence of her husband, in Sheffeld Avenue near the Jamalos Plank 
Road, East New York.  The deceased on Saturday morning last, while in a 
state of temporary insanity, jumped out of one of the third story windows 
and falling head first on the sidewalk, received such severe injuries that 
she died almost immediately after.  The facts presented at the inquest and 
which assign the cause of this rash act upon her part, are sad.  Mr. JANSEN 
was at one time carrying on a prosperous business at Newark, NJ but was 
persuaded to go out West by means of certain inducements offered.  He sold 
out his business at Newardk and wit HIS WIFE AND TWO CHILDREN, went out and 
invested all the money he had in land.  While out there, he met with 
anything but success, his reverses were capped by the illness and death of 
his two children and about two or three weeks ago he returned with his wife 
to East New York, broken-hearted and penniless.  The loss of her children so 
affected Mrs. JANSEN that she has since been seized with fits of insanity.  
On Saturday morning last, she opened the third story window and got half way 
out.  HER AFFRIGHTED HUSBAND CRIED OUT TO STOP HER.  With a last wild look 
at him, she said as only an insane woman could speack, "I see my children!  
Oh, my darlings, I'm coming!" and launched herself out in the air.  She fell 
to the ground, a bruised and bleeding mass, and a few minutes after her 
spirit had fled its earthly tenement to follow, it is hoped, and meet her 
children in that brighter world where death is not and worldly cares are 
unknown.  Such are sad facts.  The jurors rendered a verdict of "committed 
suicide while in a state of temporary insanity."

BROWNE, ROBERT  Steward of the ship Stuckland, lying at foot of Congress St. 
died suddenly this morning on board that vessel.  Coroner notified.
